Re: Quick Hits

It should be noted that Capitol Monitor is yet another Art Pope funded sock puppet organization masquerading as non-partisan. The reference by Civitas' blog epitomizes the incest that passed for intellect in the "Conservative Revolution" (now there's an oxymoron).

It is no coincidence that the leak comes out about Edward's problems at
